    Is 'battery' getting in the way of battery things ?

    I've had people tell me that multistorey car parks are having to be reinforced because of BEVs and they are causing untold damage to our roads IE potholes. When I mentioned 44 ton trucks, they went a little bit quiet, then piped up, what abaht the car parks? Yer can't get an artic in them, can yer?

    Charging MG Or Other PHEV And Other Q's

    We currently have a 23 MG4 on lease. It is nearly into its last year. We may well be looking at a hybrid (😪) next time. Hopefully the HS PHEV, or perhaps another. I did think here would be the best place to put this thread, but if the Mods want to move it, please do. My first question (at...

    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    Gooseberry yog. is a fave of mine, but you don't see it often. And hazelnut. But my all time fave has to be raspberry and there's plenty of those gorgeous beasties North of the border! As for dinner, last night, I did a chicken curry from scratch. Turned out one lad decided to fly out to Ibiza...

    Sandicliffe MG, Nottingham - Car not fit for use and being taken to court

    Alb has had a discussion with the OP and reopened the thread, so this story must have some basis. What puzzles me is why a court listing could not be found and why, given their enthusiastic postings, the OP has not reported back here with the outcome?

    Wear on Front Tyres at 5500 miles

    That's mighty impressive! Can you teach Mrs S your driving style? ;) The MG4 is an all-in lease, but the previous car used to have regular visits to the tyre depot... He always used to chuckle and call her a rally driver....

    This is hilarious

    If my understanding of the timeline is correct, EVs first appeared in some form or other in the 1820s and 30s. In 1881, Gustave Trouvé built the first electric car (although it was more a bike with a third wheel driven by a motor). Thomas Parker built a 4 wheeled EV in England in 1884. The...

    Archev's adventures in the Berlingo

    The cat or you? Joking aside, one of my kittens loves Wimbledon. Sits there watching the ball go back and forth... We have only recently got them, and they have to stay in till they are snipped and chipped, hence the litter tray.

    Octopus Free hour tomorrow (Sunday 2pm)

    I did. Accidentally. I can tell you it flippin' hurt. A lot. I said some very naughty words that would have made my Granny blush.

    Service price for second service at only 14,000 miles

    When we all owned ICE cars that got to stellar mileages, didn't we treat them to more frequent engine and gearbox oil changes to try and reduce wear on them?

    Service price for second service at only 14,000 miles

    Our previous car before the MG4 was a 2009 Honda FRV Diesel which we had from new. We did 175,000 miles in it and it never had a brake fluid change.

    Service price for second service at only 14,000 miles

    I prefer to spend decent money on the stuff that is the only contact between me and the road. I'd rather do that and buy Value label food and not buy takeaways for the next year if I had to. I swear by Michelin Cross Climate 2, although, I have just had notification from Michelin that they have...

    Service price for second service at only 14,000 miles

    It pees me right off. I went to an exhaust place with my sister in the 80s, it was her car. The guy came out and started addressing me about the issues. I said, "Please talk to my Sister...it's her car." But what really annoyed me was they knew it was her car. But regarding having blazing...

    First long road trip

    I've just seen a video where a guy in the US confirms a Tesla Model X only has one charging port. Someone had posted a video to make it look like theirs had two (possibly by doing the back to front jiggery pokery stuff of which you speak).

    Don't charge from a 3 pin plug when it's 27 degrees outside kids

    The battery back-up is there not so much to protect against tampering with the mains supply but to run the system for several hours if there is a temporary power cut.
